well now i've ditched my current effort and decided to take a different tact and added another cookie var to maintain login state rather than trying to expire user_name. i just couldn't spend any more time on this thing right now i've got a lot of pressing things to take care of... in my code updates i noticed the 'path' attribute.. when i sign out, the sign out link is /user/signout, and it looks like it was adding those cookie vars to the '/user' path, which i didn't understand at all previously.. *sigh* so i think that is the real problem here. i didn't investigate it bc like i said i had to move on and come up with another solution.. thanks so much for your attention and help.. - m@ > What Cookie header gets sent by the browser on the request after you > have tried to expire it.
